…ag with a similar military-inspired aesthetic, look no further than Triple Aught Design’s Litespeed and GORUCK’s GR1. The other company I would look at that perfectly combines utility and killer hardwear is Mission Workshop. Conclusion The DSPTCH Ruckpack is hands down one of the best EDC bags I’ve ever owned or tested. It continues to impress me with its storage capability. I marvel at how I can throw seemingly anything at it and it takes it like…

I am seriously looking at the Mystery Ranch Snapdragon or Swift as an eventual replacement of my trusty North Face Spire 38 as it draws to the end of its life.

…rapidly growing category in my eyes. Able Archer Co.’s Satchel, and Triple Aught Design’s Parallax and Dispatch are the first that come to mind. There are dozens of gentlemen’s shoulder bags from brands like Filson and others, while on the opposite end of the spectrum are brands like Mission Workshop, but neither of those address the potential for weapons carry or are designed for the “tactical” customer. Verdict It’s a really good option for thos…

Having been caught in multiple rainstorms and dealing with the daily grind for over a month, I can safely say that the construction and quality of the materials shine through.

…as it’s not the mainstream shoulder strap setup. If you’ve seen the Triple Aught Design packs, this is extremely similar. They’re designed to fit a wider range of body types, and it does that job well. “This bag definitely suits the commuter (and someone into the tactical vibe), someone looking to carry a laptop, organize their gear, and have a place for everything.” I’m a fairly big guy myself at 6’3. I spoke with Helm about the shoulder strap le…

TAD’s FAST Pack EDC caught my eye, and I ordered one immediately, selling my 5.11 Rush 24 as soon as the EDC arrived.

I wasn’t entirely happy with this bag, the shoul…

Another design choice I enjoyed was the decision to blend leather and polymer together for the band; this gives it excellent durability. Not only that, the lightly textured underside helps reduce sweat buildup (I can attest to the validity of this claim). Over time, the leather will develop a natural patina (along with all the other produ…
